How Things Mean

• Album Covers: The Eminem/Jay Z, Jay Z is looking straight at the audience while eminem is looking above the camera, possibly pointing to different personalities. Contrasting colors between the two artists possibly conveying a “conflict” in the audience. Also possibly showing the color of the two artists. Pixie Lott, the album cover shows her(Pixie Lott) seductively looking at the audience, possibly presenting that the album is going to be suggestive. Appealing towards both female and male audiences because of the “seductive” look and the albums look mirroring that of a makeup magazine cover.
• Rolex & Hello Kitty watches: Wealthy/mature vr Poor/childish. The Rolex is the picture of wealth, it’s got diamonds, fancy watchwork, it’s an elegant design. Compared to the hello kitty watch which lacks detail and finesse, it’s lacking the design and materials of the Rolex showing that it was thrown together with less care. It’s suggested through general design and color choice, the color of the Rolex ranges from white to gray at most while the hello kitty watch is mostly pink. This divergence in color choices shows a difference in maturity between the audience of the two watches.
